Hehe. Can you tell a little about the format of the output? When can this be handy for example.

  • TimeCreated
  • Level
  • Id
  • Volume = the volume, or logical drive that the event log record is associated with.
  • Hex = a hexadecimal value found in the record that lets you further distinguish between different Drive Optimizer related events with the same Id.
  • Data = for SSD retrims, this field just has the word retrim in it. If you remove the part of my script code that limits the output to records where Hex equals 02AD like I said, you should be able to also see Drive Optimizer related records that are not retrims.
  • Message = a brief description of what actually happened during the event, e.g., whether Drive Optimizer failed to retrim the volume. Normally this field should be empty if the operation in question was successful.
  • All this data is retrieved from the event log. You can use the Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) to verify this.

I don't want to impress people around me. All I want is for them to keep sending me big fat paychecks in exchange for developing the software solutions they need. lol

However, the thing that sets it apart from other scripts that are similar to it is, it re-opens the File Explorer windows in such a way that some of their window properties will also be restored, like how I described in my first reply. I.e., their folderpath, their window position and size, their minimized/maximized/restored state, their horizontal and vertical scrollbar positions, and their selected items paths (if any).

Cool! Thanks so much for sharing.

Just curious... Why did you implement as inline C# in PowerShell instead of compiling it to an exe?
Never mind. I just saw your message about future plans to make two exes.

Need some more ideas and inspiration.
What powershell script are you using on your own computer or server?
Click to expand...
This is a rather boring one but useful nonetheless to unblock multiple files at once.

If you've ever downloaded a large amount of files en mass they will typically have the 'Blocked' attribute checked, especially when you download direct from Microsoft. You can unblock multiple files by using the following command, which will do all subfolders as well.
It's especially useful if you forget to unblock a zip file, as all the extracted files will have the blocked flag set, so you can quickly unblock everything without having to unzip again.

Powershell: 
Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\MyDownloadedFiles\' -Recurse | Unblock-File

(For anyone coming across this on Google you need Powershell v4+)
